Duet

The last thing I expected was another beautiful duet from Eminem...remember him and Dido, wonderful. I know I should probably be sick of this song...it's played all the time on radio and videos...but I just love it. I am so intriqued by the mixture of beats and words. I mean these two must have really loved each other because they sure have it down at taking each other apart. I'm so excited for his new album, I love him so much. This song is so mindblowing because I feel it's going to give a lot of women (maybe even especially young women) a chance to process being in an abusive relationship. He and Rhianna have taken a terrible experience and made a lesson, without preaching or morality, out of beautiful song. (the video features Megan Fox, who a few years ago I didn't think twice about but she's become a really interesting actor to me. and what's not to love about Dominic Monaghan)

[Chorus- Rhianna]Just gonna stand there and watch me burnthat’s alright because I like the way it hurtsjust gonna stand there and hear me crythat’s alright because i love the way you liei love the way you lie

[Eminem - Verse 1]I can’t tell you what it really isI can only tell you what it feels likeand right now it’s a steel knife in my windpipeI can’t breathe but i still fight while i can fightas long as the wrong feels right it’s like i’m in flighthigh off of love drunk from my hateit’s like i’m huffin’ paint and I love it the more I suffer, I suffocateand right before i’m about to drown, she resuscitates me, she fuckin’ hates meand i love it, wait, where you goin’?i’m leavin’ you, no you ain’t come backwe’re runnin’ right back, here we go againits so insane, cause when it’s goin’ good its goin’ greatI’m superman with the wind in his back, she’s Lois Lanebut when its bad its awful, I feel so ashamed I snapwhose that dude? I don’t even know his nameI laid hands on herI never stoop so low againI guess I don’t know my own strength[chorus]

[Eminem - Verse 2]you ever love somebody so much you can barely breathewhen your with em you meet and neither one of you even know what hit emgot that warm fuzzy feelingyeah them chills used to get emnow you’re getting fuckin’ sick of lookin’ at emyou swore you’d never hit em, never do nothin’ to hurt emnow you’re in each other’s face spewin’ venom in your words when you spit emyou push pull each other’s hairscratch, claw, hit em throw em down pin emso lost in the moments when you’re in emit’s the face that’s the culprit, controls you bothso they say it’s best to go your seperate waysguess that they don’t know yacause today that was yesterdayyesterday is over, it’s a different daysound like broken records playin’ overbut you promised her next time you’ll show restraintyou don’t get another chancelife is no nintendo game, but you lied againnow you get to watch her leave out the windowguess that’s why they call it window pane[Chorus]

[Eminem - Verse 3]now I know we said things, did things, that we didn’t meanand we fall back into the same patterns, same routinebut your temper’s just as bad as mine is, you’re the same as mewhen it comes to love you’re just as blindedbaby please come back, it wasn’t you, baby it was memaybe our relationship isn’t as crazy as it seemsmaybe that’s what happens when a tornado meets a volcanoall i know is i love you too much to walk away thoughcome inside, pick up the bags off the sidewalkdon’t you hear sincerity in my voice when i talk?told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeballnext time i’m pissed I’ll lay my fist at the drywallnext time there won’t be no next timei apologize even though i know its liesi’m tired of the games i just want her backi know i’m a liar if she ever tries to fuckin’ leave againi’ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire[chorus]

Have to agree ... sort of... this was coming out of my daughters room the other day and I said "Is that Eminem ruining that song - who is the girl who can sing on it?" My daughter did her usual you-are-too-old-and-stupid-to-understand stare :-)
